He is currently a partner at Amoeba Music, and performs in San Francisco with his band, "The Seducers."

rock, country, americana:A long awaited and much anticipated new release by Transistor Rodeo. "Truck and a Radio" marks a new approach to the band's presentation of material. This new album sets the songs on a bare bones, primitive palette; no elaborate arrangements, soloists, backing vocals or any additional instrumentation. The pure sound of guitar, bass & drums leave only the heart of rock & roll to fuel the material, letting the songs stand on their own merit. This also allows the band to give the audience a true reflection of a live performance. Recorded by Tim Eschliman for Globe Records, it brings Transistor Rodeo back home to the label that helped launch Dave Erdmann's songwriting passion over two decades ago. Truck And A Radio is unique in the band's catalog of releases, inspired by the likes of BUDDY HOLLY and THE CLASH bringing simplicity to the material. This album brings together the guitar stylings and prolific somgwriting of David Erdmann and his close-knit rhythm section, Sean Brown on bass and Steve Bryant on drums. It was mixed by four-time Emmy award winner Dana Kirkpatrick & mastered by Rob Beaton who started at the famed Record Plant Studios in Sausalito. Between Tim, Dana & Rob the "balance" of the album sits where it should, letting the songs do the talking. Sit back & listen to the music produced by the restless imagination of this musical storyteller.

folk, Americana, acoustic, rock, psychedelic:(2-CD set) The first Country Joe album with a focus on a group sound since The Fish broke up in '71.

Drawing upon the Jug Band's pool of instrumentalists, and Joe's own circle of talent, the album was fleshed out with such luminaries as Harper Simon, The Persuasions, Austin de Lone, Russ Gauthier, Ken "Snakebite" Jacobs, Suzy Thompson, Chris & Lorin Rowan and Bernie Krause.

childrens, americana, folk:Big Sale! Paul Rogers, 20 year front man for the San Francisco rock accordion band, Those Darn Accordions, is set to release a solo CD of kid friendly tunes. While there's plenty of accordion on the tracks, as a solo project, Rogers felt free to bring in lots of other instrumentation to help bring the songs to life.

The CD kicks off with the upbeat "The Cul-de-Sac Kids", Rogers' salute to the cul-de-sac where his family lived for 10 years

Thirty years in the making, Taproot goes to the heart of Country and Blues roots, delivering truly original and inspired interpretations of classics. From the rocking boogie of Johnson's "Preachin' Blues" and "Last Fair Deal" to the heartbreaking intimacy of Williams' "Mansion On the Hill," Willis, a veteran bluesman with incredible vocal range and stylistic maturity, makes an important and memorable contribution to Robert Johnson's and Hank Williams' songbooks. "...one of the most sought-after blues pianists; he covers different styles with aplomb, comps like a master, and bangs out a mean solo." ---Blues Review #84. With: Bobby Cochran, Nancy Wright, Steve Evans, Kedar Roy, Ed Michaels

Rock, Americana, Folk:Produced by Austin de Lone, Winston's newly released CD, "Mozart on the Road", is a melodic, literate and often humorous amalgam of folk, country and rock with a little bit of Mozart thrown in for seasoning. "Mozart on the Road" is a richer and more polished effort than his first CD, "Child is Father to the Man". It starts off with a new version of "I Can't Stick Around to Take the Fall" (an outlaw song with a postgraduate degree) makes stops at an anti-war hootenanny and the 60's psychedelic Haight-Ashbury, and concludes with "Mozart on the Road", an epic and comically surreal retelling of the young Mozart's peregrinations through Europe in 1762, all to a driving rock beat.Born in New York State an hour's drive north of New York City, Winston Montgomery made the pilgrimage to San Francisco during the summer after the "Summer of Love" and has never left "the cool grey city of love". He made his living for 25 years renovating houses, among them many of the multi-hued Victorian edifices that San Francisco is famous for. After a stint of singing lead in a band and writing songs 30 years ago he has started writing again, playing at clubs with his four piece band, The Tall Boys.

rock, pop, rockabilly, rhythm & western, western swing, roots, americana:2-CD set ($17.98 list). All previously unreleased tracks from the band that was led by Bill Kirchen and "moonlighted" from Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen... later to become his backing group. This release presents for the first time many popular mainstays of the live shows as well as some seldom heard, experimental studio recordings. These songs represent the early "Rhythm & Western" sound of the group as well as the later four-man, skinny-tie, rock/pop outfit. These recordings have a live-ness and songwriting that's missing from the two previous releases. Featuring Bill Kirchen, Tony Johnson, Richard Casanova (George Strait), Steve Mackay (Iggy Pop), Steve Fishell (Emmy Lou Harris), Don Kennedy, Rick Higginbotham, Tim Eschliman (Rhythmtown-Jive), Austin de Lone (Eggs Over Easy) with special guests Mark Karan (Ratdog) and James Henry. The live CD includes essential tunes that were staples of the band's live shows but didn't appear on the 2 previously existing releases, like Carl Perkins' "Boppin' the Blues," a few Rockpile numbers and the bands traditional rave-up set-closer, Warren Smith's "Ubangi Stomp." 3 songs from the early "Rhythm & Western" days of the band are included: the Cajun fiddling of "Mississippi Sawyer," "Big Mamou" which featured the 3-man section of fiddle, tenor sax & pedal steel and the sassy "Sittin' On Top Of The World," which adds to that section Bill Kirchen's wild trombone. Live recordings are also from Keystone Palo Alto, The Saddlerack (KFAT Fat-Fry), Keystone Berkeley, and Rohan's Rockpile. The studio CD, on the other hand, brings to light a more experimental side of the band. Three of the tracks were recorded live to 4-track in an afternoon as a pre-production session at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco and when heard by Austin's friend Nick Lowe, led to the arrangements for the recording of the Moonlighter's "Rush Hour" album, which Nick produced in London. Many of the other tracks are song demos of originals by drummer Tony Johnson or bassist Tim Eschliman, and several of those were recorded at Tim and Austin de Lone's at-the-time home studio, the earliest iteration of Globe Studios. Although not all of these recordings were Moonlighter projects per se, they happened to have been recorded by the band members and in some cases led to additions to the band's set lists. Studio recordings are also from Sonoma Recorders and Prairie Sun. Mastered by Fred Catero, Tim Eschliman and Tony Johnson. Packaged in all-recyclable mini-double jacket format.

cajun, zydeco, americana, new orleans:This debut album is an exciting tribute to the King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier and re-creates those early Louisiana dance hall sounds using the same instrumentation of accordion, rubboard, vocals, harp and drums. With Lloyd Meadows harmonica and soulful vocals, Bruce Gordon's funky bluesy zydeco accordion and Tyler Eng's driving drums, the Trio is a fireball of hot music, tear jerking ballads and waltzes. 15 tracks, several great originals plus The Rolling Stones "Miss You." Queen Ida says "I want to commend you, you guys are sounding great, fantastic... Clifton would be real happy. It's a great tribute, a little bit of everything, something for everyone, keep it up."

blues, rhythm & blues, New Orleans, americana:A musical slice of Americana that takes a listener from the hills of West Virginia to the bayous of Louisiana, the banks of the Ohio to the Mississippi Delta.

Harmonica ace Norton Buffalo adds his talents to the unique "Poison Love." Mandolin hero Tom Rozum (Laurie Lewis and Grant Street) provides a bluegrass edge, and Johnny "V" Vernazza plays perhaps the best guitar of his career. "If Bill Monroe and Howlin' Wolf had ever played together it wouldn't sound like this, but that's got the idea, that's the aim." -S. E. Willis
